Phillies push Rockies to brink of elimination with 6-5 win

in Rockies Game Wraps
Email
PrintSunday night was a game two teams wanted, but only one could have, and after a heavyweight slugfest, it was the Philadelphia Phillies that came out on top with a 6-5 victory over the Colorado Rockies, taking a 2-1 series lead in the best of five and putting the Rockies in a must win situation for Monday.
Philadelphia drew first blood off Jason Hammel with a Chase Utley solo home run in the first inning. The Rockies also jumped on J.A. Happ early, racking up 35 pitches seen against the left hander in the first inning in the process of scoring two runs on singles by Carlos Gonzalez, Dexter Fowler, Troy Tulowitzki, Garrett Atkins and an RBI groundout from Todd Helton. In the third they added one more run on another Atkins hit, this time a two out double.
After Hammel settled down through the rest of the Phillies lineup the first time through, he ran into serious trouble the second time around and gave the lead back to Philadelphia with a three run fourth. Carlos Gonzalez answered with a solo home run to tie it in the bottom of the inning, and the two teams exchanged runs in the sixth and seventh, respectively. Rafael Betancourt got out of a difficult jam in the top of the eighth after Raul Ibanez walked and Pedro Feliz hit a bloop double to left field with one out. Betancourt struck out Carlos Ruiz, who already had two hits and two RBI and pinch hitter Matt Stairs to end the threat.
The ninth, however, proved to be the Rockies undoing, as Huston Street gave up a single up the middle to Jimmy Rollins, saw him sacrificed to second on a Shane Victorino bunt, and then moved to third when a little dink back to the mound by Chase Utley proved problematic for Street. Utley was called safe at first with a single, and a deep fly out by Ryan Howard was able to score Rollins.
The Rockies final at bat against Brad Lidge saw Brad Hawpe ground out quickly for the first out. Gonzalez walked to get the tying run on board. Gonzalez stole second but Jason Giambi, pinch hitting for Fowler, popped out foul to the third base side. Todd Helton then worked another walk bringing Tulowitzki to the plate with runners on first and second. Tulo, though, flied out to Raul Ibanez to finish the game.
The Rockies failures in run prevention were largely due to the eight walks they allowed, three to Ibanez alone, and an inability to get through any portion of the Phillies order cleanly. The Rockies offense, for its part, had several scoring chances that could have seen better results but holes in the lineup prevented them from getting an extended rally going. The pitcher's ninth slot was the only one to not get either a hit or walk for Philadelphia, while Colorado had three slots that proved to be automatic outs, with Yorvit Torrealba, batting fifth, and Clint Barmes, batting eighth, joining the ninth slot as unproductive on the night.
Now trailing the series 2-1, the Rockies are faced with the difficult task of having to win both tomorrow at Coors Field and Tuesday in Philadelphia if they want to advance to the NLCS. They will be relying on their ace Ubaldo Jimenez for the next game, but Philly will counter with their own number one, Cliff Lee.

Helton's got to keep his foot on the bag on that play
it looks like he tried to cheat a little to avoid getting run over by Utlety. that said when i saw the play live I was confident that it hit Utley and should have been a foul.
May the Rockies bring me to paydirt!
I think he was safe
but, the replay seems to show that the ball hit Utley while he was still in the box before going fair.
May the Rockies bring me to paydirt!
put it this way if it's a regular season game they call the runner out as they often allow
players to cheat a little (pull their foot off the bag, whether at first base or at second) to avoid contact and possible injury.
May the Rockies bring me to paydirt!
yes, exactly
but, because it’s such a late finish on the east coast and it didn’t involve the yankees or red sox you probably won’t see a big deal made of it.
May the Rockies bring me to paydirt!
They did mention it.
And it wasn’t really as blatant as the blown call against the Twins the other day.
they seemed to move on from it pretty quickly though
May the Rockies bring me to paydirt!
to be honest
I was 95% sure the ball hit utley. And I was sitting in the upper deck in right field. No binoculars. Just the naked eye from 500 feet away, for what its worth

I felt the same way watching it live on tv
I was actually hoping he’d be called out for being out of the batter’s box. replay showed he was still in the box when it hit him.
May the Rockies bring me to paydirt!
Does the home plate ump make that call?
If so, I could see how he’d have a hard time noticing a change in trajectory of a ball that glanced off a hitter’s shin.
Yeah, I think he may have been a bit blocked by Utley's body.
He was twisted away from the ump and it glanced off the front of his shin, away from the ump.
Could have asked the 3rd base or 2nd base ump for assistance.
The third base ump probably would’ve had the best look.
But he probably didn't think there was a question in the first place.
And as mentioned elsewhere, the Rockies players apparently didn’t either.
"the rockies players apparently didnt either"
This confuses me. How could I see something street couldn’t from literally ten times the distance?

i guess my hope is that the media
grabs on to this play tomorrow and if there’s a bang bang play in a key spot, then maybe it’s in the back of the umps mind that we got screwed tonight and maybe we get the benefit of a call that could go either way. it doesn’t hurt to hope.
May the Rockies bring me to paydirt!
well i was at the same angle as barmes then
Ugh. No one else in my section seemed to have seen it. I was hoping I was seeing things. Oh well

Yahoo's game recap mentions the play
Huston Street allowed Ryan Howard’s sacrifice fly in the top of the ninth that scored Jimmy Rollins with the tiebreaking run after another apparent blown call by the umpires.
The ball appeared to hit Utley’s left leg while he was still in the batter’s box and should have been ruled a foul ball, but home plate umpire Jerry Meals didn’t call the ball dead.
May the Rockies bring me to paydirt!
True enough.
No question it was a “blown” call, but I think there are enough variables involved to be an “understandable” one.
What I saw was the quick highlight package immediately after the game ended.
It might get a bit more attention when they actually get back to game analysis.
Wait, they still do that?
I thought they just guessed and picked big-market teams to win, like always.

"If you do it right 51 percent of the time, you will end up a hero." - Alfred P. Sloan
I don't think it was a blatant call
I think the problem is that it led to a winning run. These two teams are so evenly matched that any little thing like that can decide the game and maybe the series.
Batters who walk to first usually come running home.

Did they notice (or suspect) it and still didn't ask?
Or did they not realize it hit him in the first place?
I was sitting in foul territory in left field
and I couldn’t tell one bit that it hit him.

Even Philadelphia Inquirer notes the miscall in their recap
Jimmy Rollins, who scored on Howard’s sacrifice, advanced to third when Chase Utley fouled a ball off his lower leg. Home plate umpire Jerry Meals appeared not to see that, and Utley was incorrectly awarded an infield single.
May the Rockies bring me to paydirt!
OK, I'm off to bed and....
..while I can’t say I’m feeling wildly optimistic about our chances from here on out, I’ll leave you with these two thoughts:
1. The Rox were 10 games under .500 in May, and here they are in October going at it hammer and nails with the World Champions. the Red Sox, The Twins and the Cardinals are all making tee times, and we’re still at it.
2. CarGo will get even better. Ubaldo will get even better. Tulo will get even better. Stewart, Dexter and Street will get even better. The Rockies are for real.
Night all. Off to dream about a world in which my team’s pitchers throw only strikes. :)
yep win or lose in this series
we will be a team to be reckoned with for years to come

I missed all but the last half inning.
So, Torrealba was batting 5th? Hmm. Pardon my French but . . . uh, très intéressant.
wasn't a smart move by tracy as it puts unneeded pressure on yorvit to do more than he's
capable of

Bag on him now
But we are swept out or maybe never even got in without the guy. I say he should have been in the 5th spot before tonight.

I promised myself to always keep a healthy perspective on how emotionally attached
I get to my sports teams. After the 55-10 Super Bowl loss by the Broncs, my friend broke his hand hitting a wall at a bar. He was a concert pianist and lost his ability to play after that…..We spent the whole rest of the evening until 1 AM, in the emergency room(it was crowded that night) So, take this loss and file it in the appropriate place and look forward to the next game. Oh, the pianist part was made up, but the rest is true.
See many of you bots tomorrow..get to bed ya knuckleheads!
I'm about to do just that.
The bed part, not the hand-breaking part.
Have a good night, y’all! See you tomorrow…

Barmes 0-10; Hawpe swinging at 1-0 in the 9th
Over all a great game. Bummer we lost. Barmes is horrific right now and Hawpe needs to be a little more patient against a bum like lidge.
Too many walks too

p much his whole career
When he doesn’t get a fastball over the plate to yank into the seats, he has little to offer. He’s a league leader in popputs. Interestingly, fangraphs had an article mid season dubbing him one of the worst scouted hitters in the game. Turns out he’s one of the more heavy fastball hitters in the league but was in the top ten in fastballs seen

Not sure why he swung at that. It’s way out of his usually good zone.
Tulo swinging on 1-0 wasn’t my favorite call since Lidge is a wild nut job. But Tulo has 30+ Hr’s so what can you do.

It was pretty cold, but all the various layers + blanket helped a lot.
All those walks just killed us. I was sitting down the 3rd base line, so my only sense of the strike zone was height. Were the the pitchers being squeezed at all? I was really surprised by how many balls Street had in the 9th, which is so unlike him.
